Testing overview

You must test your code, and Bango must certify your test results, before you can go live.

All development and most testing uses test credentials, which Bango supplies to you when you sign up. These credentials let you use the full capabilities of the Bango Merchant Interface Server API, with production URLs, but sandboxed to ensure you and your test users can't accidentally work with live resellers and live services.

To enable the Bango Platform to send requests to your system using the Bango Merchant Interface Client API, you'll need to provide these credentials to the Bango team as part of the onboarding process.

Bango recommends two stages of testing:

1. API testing: with test credentials, making sure your code sends correctly formatted API requests, and handles responses appropriately
2. Production testing: real-world testing with production credentials and live resellers

Certification Process Prerequisites

1. Valid Bango Merchant Interface Server API API username and password for a Bango test account
2. IP addresses for the merchants systems provided and whitelisted on Bango system
3. Basic Authentication

Test Reseller is a reseller provided by Bango which allows merchants to test their connect with Bango Resale. An excel certification document, postman collection and postman environment are provided and are needed to successfully execute the certification steps. All three resources can be found here.

The Bango team will provide you with the information you require to populate the postman environment template. More information on how to use Postman can be found here.
